OS 100 ANOS DA REVISTA DE MEDICINA DA FMUSP NA DIVULGAÇÃO DA PRODUÇÃO CIENTÍFICA

Abstract

The Revista de Medicina of the Departamento Científico (DC) of Faculdade de Medicina da USP (FMUSP), founded in 1916, has the mission of bringing scholars closer to scientific production and increasing integration between the student body and the teaching staff. Edited from the outset by medical graduates, it is the oldest academic scientific journal in the world in circulation. Objectives: This study intends to present the evolution of the Journal, from 1916 to 2017, focusing on its centenary and current projects to increase its presence in the national academic environment. Experience: Launched in July 1916, Revista de Medicina was created to disseminate the scientific production of the academics and professors of FMUSP. In 1981, indexation occurred in the LILACS database, and in 2000 in LATINDEX. From 2013, entered the Portal USP de Revistas and in 2016, Journal completed its centennial with a special edition with 3 volumes and letter to the editor of the Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology: Dr. Bruce Beutler. In these 100 years of publications the journal had the greatest challenge to work within a context of low scientific production in undergraduate. In 2017, new projects, such as partnerships with Congresses and Associated Editorial Centers (AECs), were created to expand the Journal's national participation. Results: Since 2015, the Journal is among the 161 journals of the Portal USP de Revistas as the most accessed, with 770,303 accesses in 2016. In 2017, the following events occurred: the organization of the scientific development project in AECs, the passage of 4 annual issues for 6 as of 2018, the scientific partnerships with 3 of the largest Brazilian university congresses (COMU, Braincoms e ABLAC) and participation in the scientific organization of the I Congresso dos Acadêmicos de Medicina do Espírito Santo. Conclusions: Revista de Medicina has played in the last 100 years the role of fostering the scientific writing of FMUSP students, and now also leverage the scientific production of medical scholars from all over the country.
